TRAVELING CASE.

Application filed April 21,

The object of this invention is to provide a traveling case which shall be provided with removable trays, which trays are so formed as to constitute a separate toilet case when removed from the main case, the invention relating to the construction of the toilet case and coacting parts of the traveling case to provide a novel combination of the two.

The invention will be understood by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a plan View of the device with the lid raised;

Figure 2 is a transverse section on the line 2, Figure 1;

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the toilet case removed from the traveling case.

The device comprises a traveling case 1 which may in a number of particulars be of customary construction. It may have a suitable metal or other frame having a covering 1 of leather or other material reinforced on the interior with fiber board or the like. It maybe provided with spring lock members 2, 2", the latter being applied to the hinged cover member 3. The main body of the case may be provided with a handle 4.

lVithin the interior of the case and extending lengthwise thereof are opposed shoulders or flanges 5 which are adapted to afford a support for the members of the traveling case. The traveling case is formed of two sections hinged together at 6 (Figure 1). it is provided with complementary locl'- ing u'iembcrs 7, 7 and with a handle 8. Each otthe two members is provided with opposed flanges 9, the flanges of one member abutting those of the second member when the case is closed, as shown in Figure 3. When the said toilet case is opened, it assumes the position shown in Figure 1 and the flanges 9 rest upon the shoulders 5 of the traveling case.

In practice, the cover of the traveling case 1928. Serial N0. 103.439.

may be provided with longitudinally extending shoulders 10, which lie over upon the flanges 9 of the toilet case when in closed position, as shown in Figure 2, thereby holding the toilet case in fixed position.

In former devices of the general kind the inner wall of the suit case was provided with a projecting flange in order to support a tray or trays at the base thereof. This flange was an objectionable obstruction and has been entirely eliminated by means of my invention. When my toilet case has been removed from the suit case, hat boX or other traveling case, the latter will be free from any projections or obstruct-ions. In a number of instances my toilet case can beapplied to usual types of suit cases or the like without modification thereof.

It will be understood that the devices herein described may be constructed of any suitable material and that various modifications may be made in the embodiment of the invention illustrated in the drawings, without departing from the spirit thereof, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent being as follows As a new article of manufacture, a combined traveling and toilet case, comprising an outer casing having a main body portion and a cover, longitudinal opposed recesses provided intermediate the said body portion and cover, the upper wall of each recess being a shoulder on the cover and the lower wall of each recess being a shoulder on the main body portion, the toilet case comprising two mutually hinged members, each member having longitudinally extending flanges, the arrangement being such that when the toilet case is open its flanges rest upon the shoulders of the outer casing and are held bcween the main body thereof and the cover, in contact with the said shoulders.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification.

ALAN B. DEITSCH.
